My truck holds 33 gallons of gas. It used to bother me when the pump would get to three digits to top it off. I topped off the other day from almost empty and never came close to three digits.

”…trusting ze process…”
The real problem is that almost every unstable approach out in only one parameter does result in a safe landing, coupled with plan continuation bias, and expecting people that have hitherto bungled the management of the flight path to execute the most dynamic maneuver we normally do in an airliner (which we also very rarely do in the real airplane) and not rip the flaps off at 261 knots and 3,000' to boot.
I've done exactly one go-around at the Air Line in the actual airplane in two years in the middle of the night in Orlando. The handful of go-arounds I did at Spirit save one were all ATC-initiated (also, Tampa is going to make you maintain 1,600' (surprise!), but anyway) now that I think about it. They were more common in the EMB-120/170/CRJ days, but that's probably a function of the number of sectors flown, too. I'd say go-arounds were a quarterly or more common thing in the Brasilia days.
Speaking of charming...

I just flew with a guy that won't eat anything but American fast food when in China. It blows my mind. There's a lot of good food here once you figure out how to pay.
Like I told a tender-belly over in Seoul.
“There are 50 million people in S. Korea who are also Homo Sapiens. I’m sure the food isn’t going to kill you and we’ll find you something”.
The next day, after taking him out for KBBQ, he said he had the best layover in his career. And that’s scary. Ha!

Yeah but I could pay $30 for a hamburger with weird ketchup and just stay in the room watching tv and calling the wife at 3am her time!
If I called Kristie during a standard layover, she’d be like “WHAT DO YOU WANT?!”

There’s an hour requirement attached to it to avoid “green on green” but it happens, especially if both individuals get called out to cover something on reserve.
Idk how true it is that they were both new to their seats but from what I’ve seen new captains and FO’s tend to take things slow and are really cautious. 1 being that they’re new in their respective seats and 2 there’s the thought of “I don’t want to f this up” (which is always the thought). With that being said and to avoid this blowing up into a senior vs. junior pilot thing; it doesn’t mean that new CA’s or FO’s are incapable of being cavalier when it comes to operating the aircraft.

I assumed that would be the case when I upgraded, but it wasn't. I actually made poorer decisions, because I would say, "this isn't a good thing to do" and then a little voice in my head would say "you're just saying that because you are a new upgrade, and a more seasoned captain wouldn't even blink before they did this." It took a month or so (and two really dumb things) to get out of that mindset.
